Pinned Down and Abused for Being Strange Part 1

posted by Peaceandlove67

Quinton was a teen who lived in the mountains of Tennessee. He was not like his schoolmates who liked country music. He was into rock and roll, especially grunge. Quinton was into grunge bands and grunge fashion. He wore flannel shirts, unless it was warm outside. He also wore grunge band shirts, mainly for Alice in Chains and Soundgarden, his two yêu thích grunge bands. He had light brown hair flowing down to his shoulders. One day, he was listening to Dirt, his yêu thích Alice in Chains album on his iPod. Suddenly, a group of bullies surrounded him. The ring leader was called T-Rex. Nobody knew his real name. He just went bởi T-Rex. "Listening to that Satanic âm nhạc again, Quinton?" T-Rex remarked. Quinton said, "I hardly think it's Satanic when it saved my life." One of T-Rex's followers said, "Music can't save your life. It's impossible!" Quinton said, "Anything is possible." T-Rex then asked Quinton, "Why do bạn listen to that stuff?" Quinton shrugged. "Why not?" T-Rex said, "You know it's old and stupid." Quinton remarked, "So are TV evangelists, but bạn still listen to them." T-Rex punched Quinton in the stomach, nearly knocking him out. The rest of T-Rex's gang beat on Quinton a while and left. Quinton got up and began to walk away. His only friend, Sasha, saw the whole thing. She ran up to him and asked, "Are bạn okay?" He said, "Yeah, I think so." She insisted on taking him to the school nurse. The school nurse đã đưa ý kiến that Quinton was fine, just bruised. Sasha and Quinton walked trang chủ from school together. As they were walking the neighborhood, they saw some of the neighborhood kids throwing rocks and other objects at a young dog. The dog had rust red and tan colored fur. She appeared to be about three months old, so she was just a puppy. Quinton couldn't stand to watch the innocent pup get abused like that. He said, "Hey! Leave the poor cún yêu, con chó con alone! What business do bạn have throwing shit at her?!" The neighborhood kids told him, "She has weird looking eyes." He said, "That's no reason to be so mean. Now, scram!" They fled the scene. Sasha said, "Quinton, that was cool, what bạn did." He said, "Thanks." She was about to approach the puppy, but he held her back and said, "No, Sasha. bạn should never just walk up to a dog bạn don't know. If she's hurt, she'll be scared. We have to get on her level and let her know we're not going to hurt her." Sasha asked, "What do bạn suggest?" Quinton got down on his knees and said, "I'll hiển thị you."

80smusiclover1 This is looking very good so far. I can really sympathize with Quinton and the puppy. As for the TV evangelists, they are not just old, but they are greedy and selfish, too!

BingoPB Yeah. TV evangelists are frauds! They act like they're so concerned about the poor, yet when you see them out places, they're driving a Cadillac and acting like everyone is beneath them. I feel sorry for Quinton and the puppy. It's not easy being different, but if everyone was the same, life would be so boring.

Rubyrings "She has weird looking eyes"? That is the worst reason for throwing rocks at someone I have ever heard... these people are so mean! And really, what's it to T-Rex and his gang if Quinton isn't into the same kind of music as they are?!

Roldan13 I agree with Rubyrings. I feel so bad for Quinton and the puppy.

RetroRock64 I feel bad for them, too. That is so sad.

Peaceandlove67 It is sad that people cannot accept differences.
